Default Castle high power brushless ESC - 50 volts, 240 amps, 12000 watts!
I have a Castle Creations Hydra 240 HV opto-isolated brushless speed control. This thing is a monster - the HV version can handle 50 volts (12S lipo), 240 amps, 12,000 watts. It's supposed to be a marine ESC, but I attached heatsinks with Arctic Alumina thermal epoxy to make it air-cooled. So it no longer works for boats, but it's great for cars/planes/helis.

Price is $350 shipped.
